Why does this get associated with the far-right?

The far left (or at least substantial portions of it) are literally anti-white.
They also make it a moral issue where if you don't agree with them, you're equal to Hitler, and therefore you get called far-right.

In addition, the far-left base most on the sins of our fathers, many use anecdotes and subjective thinking in addition to comparing people with other people often out of context. I saw this video of a south marican who said he was a nationalist (he also wore an armband when he felt like it, often inside the house). The reporter compared him to Hitler and jumped stright to the "you know X million Jews were killed right?", "you know Hitler was a nationalist right?". The poor guy was ridiculed for being a nationalist. I mean Hitler was Christian, that makes every Christian basically Hitler right? They cherry pick and just referr to the past. We are not the sins of our fathers, if ones grandfather owned slaves it dosen't mean that his grandchildren or children did the same or thought the same. It's Toxic.

Thats not true, Hitler was a fan of Islam and complained om many occassions that he has been saddled with a meek religion like christianity rather than something that would be easier to use for his goals.

But,,, that link agrees with me...

Why are people downvoting him??? The link does agree with his assertion that Hitler disliked Christianity and liked Islam.

"In light of evidence such as his vocal rejection of the tenets of Christianity"

"Ultimately not Arabs, but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire."

"A religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and in subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the German temperament."

"The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France."

This shit kills me when I see dumbass neo-nazis on /pol/ talking about how Germany is being "Islamized" whilst simultaneously beating their tiny meat to Hitler.

No it doesn't, you stated hitler was a Christian

...Did you even read his post, or do you just nitpick semantics until you find an argument that you think you can win?

That is what he stated.

Hitler was a fan of Islam

Hitler thought Christianity was a meek religion

Hitler wished Germany was Islamic and not Christian.

Did you fail basic reading comprehension? They were disagreeing with your assertion that Hitler hated religion... he very clearly liked Islam and respected some other religions. The link you gave proves their assertion rather than disproving them and I am sickened that you are getting upvotes and they are getting downvotes when they are very clearly right in this instance. Classic reddit upvoting and downvoting with zero comprehension on the topic being discussed.

Religious views of Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs have been a matter of debate; the wide consensus of historians consider him to have been irreligious and anti-Christian. In light of evidence such as his vocal rejection of the tenets of Christianity, numerous private statements to confidants denouncing Christianity as a harmful superstition, and his strenuous efforts to reduce the influence and independence of Christianity in Germany after he came to power, Hitler's major academic biographers conclude that he was irreligious and an opponent of Christianity. Historian Laurence Rees found no evidence that "Hitler, in his personal life, ever expressed belief in the basic tenets of the Christian church". Hitler's remarks to confidants, as described in the Goebbels Diaries, the memoirs of Albert Speer, and transcripts of Hitler's private conversations recorded by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk, are further evidence of his irreligious and anti-Christian beliefs; these sources record a number of private remarks in which Hitler ridicules Christian doctrine as absurd, contrary to scientific advancement, and socially destructive.
